lea'r.fIy .$,l,m diw'D -n,b h{m{l.v yel.vim

2 To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding,

h'nyib yer.mia !yib'h.l r's.Wm.W h'm.k'x t;[;d'l

3 To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice and equity;

~yir'vyem.W j'P.vim.W q,d,c leK.f;h r;s.Wm t;x;q'l

4 To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion,

h'Miz.m.W t;[;D r;[;n.l h'm.r'[ ~Iya't.pil tet'l

5 A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,

tw{lUB.x;T !w{b'n.w x;q,l @,sw{y.w ~'k'x [;m.vIy ? h,n.qIy

6 To understand a proverb and a figure, The words of the wise and their riddles.

~'t{dyix.w ~yim'k]x ]yer.biD h'cyil.m.W l'v'm !yib'h.l

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.

8 Hear, my son, your father's instruction And do not forsake your mother's teaching;

9 Indeed, they are a graceful wreath to your head And ornaments about your neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.

aeb{T -l;a ~yia'J;x '$.WT;p.y -mia yin.B

11 If they say, "Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

h'n.P.cin ~'d.l h'b.r,a,n .Wn'Tia h'k.l .Wr.ma{y -mia ? ~'Nix yiq'n.l

12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;

13 We will find all kinds of precious wealth, We will fill our houses with spoil;

14 Throw in your lot with us, We shall all have one purse,"

15 My son, do not walk in the way with them. Keep your feet from their path,

~'t'byit.Nim '$.l.g;r [;n.m ~'Tia .$,r,d.B .$eleT -l;a yin.B

16 For their feet run to evil And they hasten to shed blood.

17 Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net In the sight of any bird *;

]l;[;B -l'k yenye[.B t,v'r'h h'r{z.m ~'Nix -yiK ? @'n'K

18 But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives.

~'t{v.p;n.l .Wn.P.cIy .Wb{r/a,y ~'m'd.l ~eh.w

19 So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence; It takes away the life of its possessors.

20 Wisdom shouts in the street, She lifts her voice in the square;

H'lw{q !eTiT tw{b{x.r'B h'N{r'T #.Wx;B tw{m.k'x

21 At the head of the noisy streets she cries out; At the entrance of the gates in the city she utters her sayings:

22 "How long *, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?

25 And you neglected all my counsel And did not want my reproof;

26 I will also laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your dread comes,

27 When your dread comes like a storm And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.

29 Because * they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of the LORD.
